Drew Carey Wants Libertarian Gary Johnson As President
The Daily Beast ^ | 07.24.16 1:29 AM ET | Matt Wilstein

Posted on 07/24/2016 8:09:53 AM PDT by COBOL2Java


Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson went all-out Hollywood on Saturday night with a fundraiser at Drew Carey’s house.

Even the invitation for the Drew Carey-hosted fundraiser for Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson was a bit unconventional. The dress code was listed as “Libertarian Comfortable, i.e., whatever you’re comfy in,” and there were plenty of jeans and sneakers on display. While the host did offer complimentary valet parking, he suggested that “Uber-ing” might be easier.

Guests began to assemble around 5 p.m. Saturday evening, the sky prematurely darkening not with the threat of rain but from nearby wildfires that created a haze overhead. “I looked at the sky today and thought, ‘Trump’s about to give a speech,’” Carey joked in an interview with The Daily Beast before the event got underway. “I don’t know what America he’s living in,” he added of Trump, “but he’s crazy.” When Johnson addressed the crowd later, he echoed Carey’s sentiments by asking, “What country is he talking about?”

The former New Mexico governor arrived early, wandering into the backyard wearing jeans, Nike sneakers, a seersucker jacket and a white t-shirt that appeared to have a food truck on it. He told us that Carey is one of several celebrities who have expressed their support for him, even if many are not yet willing to do so publicly.

Except for foreign policy and domestic policy, Gary Johnson would be great.

Wouldn’t Mrs. Clinton just love to see this pick up traction.

The candidate with the bad haircut's doing much better than recent 3rd party contenders...


...and of course, Hillary's got her voter base

The price may be right, but Drew Carey is wrong.

And this guy was once a Marine.

Well, I’ll have to see it to believe it, the 13% or anywhere even remotely near it.

In this election year, a vote for Johnson is basically a vote against Trump and for Hillary. It’s a no brainer where our support should be going this year.

Hillery =

Corruption
Leftist ideology on steroids
Death to our rights
the destruction of the SCOTUS
the insertion of many unqualified Leftist judges into the courts

A vote for Johnson is a lost vote, and exactly what Clinton would want.

This is the only way Trump could lose, if Johnson were to pick up traction. Johnson will never win. At best he would split the right’s votes, and Hillary waltzes in.

Forgot to mention her impact on the military.

Almost too much to contemplate right there.

Some libertarian Johnson is. I watched some of the Libertarian candidate debate, and Johnson is in favor of using the force of government to make Christians bake cakes for homosexual weddings, etc. His true colors are leftist statist.

Millions of average people know exactly what America they’re living in because they don’t don’t have 12ft walls and security guards blocking their view. He should peek out once in a while.

OMW! Was Johnson pinned under the food truck? Why didn’t the attendees help him?

But...but...they’re famous and we’re not. So that means they are smarter than we are, right?

Any Johnson backer is really a backer of Mrs. Bill but thinks he is making mischief.

True. He hasn’t done anything egregious like Murtha, and all he is doing now is supporting a candidate we roll our eyes at.

Johnson takes more votes from Hillary than Trump.


Might be true but I have a hard time believing this.

He has been a libertarian for as long as I can remember.

That was from sometime in the late 1990s.
